Question

Find the equation of the line passing through (0,5) with a slope of 2/3

Answer 1

y= 2/3x+5

Explanation:

Okay, to write the equation of a line you need two values. The y intercept and the slope. The y intercept has an x coordinate of zero, and lucky us, the point you were given has an x coordinate of zero so that's done. You were also given the slope, so you don't have to calculate it. Anyways, the formula of a line is written in slope intercept form usually, so y=mx+b. Just fill in the gaps, m= the slope and b=the y intercept. The slope is 2/3, and the y intercept is 5. So, inserting in the variables you get y=2/3x+5.

Hope that helps!

Answer 2

y= 2/3x +5

Explanation:

(0,5) is the y intercept and the slope is 2/3 so we can use the y intercept form

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y= 2/3x +5
